Train Robbers Surprised.

Train robbers in Texas have SO long
been accustomed to running things
their own way that the radical change
recently inaugurated by an express
messenger named j. Z. Smith must
have been a great surprise to them.
Heretofore express messengers have
been in tho habit of throwing up their
hands at the command of train
robber. with an alscrity that made the
t. r. smile. No thought of attempting
to defend the property consigned to his
care seemed to enter the messenger
head. That made the robbers careless,
we suppose. On the night of October
IA Messenger Smith was running from
Ell Paso to San Antonio. The train
stopped. pistol shots were fired. and
when Smith turned down his light and
got down to see what was the matter,
the buccaneers of the rail ordered him
back to light up again, in order to faclli-
alto The business Of exploring the safe.
As the messenger was climbing in his
hand dropped on the handle of 9
revolver that he had dropped on the
floor of the car in his haste. and turn
ing he dropped the robber in the most
natural way in the world. Then he
proceeded to the corner Of the car and
picked up shotgun which stood there
doing nothing at all, and with 1t pick
ed off another robber who was careless
ly exposing himself Both robbers
we're killed, aud the rewards won by
Smith aggregate S5. 800, which wasn't
bad nights work, for Smith.-Teras
Sytings.

ANIMAL LONGEVITY.
IN Elderly Tarantula and an Aged
Queen Nee.

Queen noe.
In an interesting communication
read BY the Rev. DIR. H. G. MoCook be-
iore the last meeting of the Academ
Of Natural Sciences on the possibilities
Of prolonged life among the lower or
ders OF animals. an account WIS given
Of the life history of a fine specimen OF
the spider, commonly known as the
American tarantula. The ANNUAL was
gwen TO him in 1882 by DIR. Joseph
Leidy. II was then apparently eigh-
teen months or two wears old. and IL
lived in captivity until July of The pres
ont year. At the period OF it's death.
therefore, it must have been at least
seven years old, and may have been
eight, hav ng thus attained the distinc-
ton OF being the most aged spider
known 10 science. How Tong this
species and other spiders generally live
in their natural habitat IS not known,
but human protection in the present in
stance probably aided to prolong life.
Vt was kept first in a glass globe and
-fterward in wooden box, with glaz-
ed sides and a sliding glass door at the
top. One end was filled with dry soil.
VIII oh was slightly compacted and
beaped up; the other end was sparsely
covered with earth. 1t was at all
times literally supplied with water,
and its food consisted of live flies.
grasshoppers and locusts. During con-
Gnement the tarantula shed its skin
several times, process apgar-
emily attended with some danger, as it
was during such change the creature
died, and once before. on similar &C.
casion, it was found apparently dead.
although it afterward revived. 1t Is
possible that it was too much exhaust
ed by long previous fasting to endure
the severe strain which evidently is laid
upon the organism in the act Of mott
ing. The spring of 1886 was back
ward one, and some difficulty was ex-
perienced in procuring insects for food
from the immediate neighborhood. The
annual supply of grasshoppers and
locusts was very late, and 1t may be
that had the spider been strengthened
by a few weeks generous feeding.
previous to its last mott, it might have
been still alive.
In connection with the general sub
jcct OF the prolonged life of insects,
DR.. McCook stated that during recent
visit TO Sir John Lubbock at his house
in London he inquired after queen of
the fusous ant which he had seen in an
artificial formicary six years ago, 1t
being then nearly eight years old. He
was told by his host that it had died
the day before. having at the time
reached the wonderful age of more than
thirteen years. She was still attended
by her circle Of courtiers. Some Of
them were licking the dead queen or
touching her with their antenn@ and
making other demonstrations, as though
soliciting her attention or desiring to
wake her out of sleep. II was certain
ly a touching sight 10 witness these

dead body of one who SO long presid-
ed over the maternal destinies of the
colony. and seeking by their caresses

again could respond to their solicita-
tions. Philadelphia Ledger

DIVISION OF LABOR.

Our political economists accept it, that
division of labor dwarfs the mind of
operatives How can a man have any
sense who spends his days making pin
heads, or sharpening the points Of
needles? A good many sarcastic things
might be said about men and women
spending their time on little things. The
absurdities Of fine metaphysical reason
ing and nice points of law are among the
worlds profoundest burlesques.
Per contra humanity knows that most
poor matters point to rich ends; that
patriarch may honOrably keep sheep for
seven years, or a prince pile up logs,
when his reward is to be the lady of his
choice. And what poor work Of the
American citizen is not dignifed with the
consciousness of sustaining a happy
home, and rearing true men and women?
1t may be fact that the sim
pie single operation of the hands
gives freedom to the mind. He that
performs one poor part in great piece
of machinery, may yet be free to com
prehend the whole. Or, if jealous mo-
nopoly confines him to one thing, his mind
is free to exercise itself on what it will,
and may digest religion, politics, sociol-
.ogy, ,ience, or pleasant literature. Men
tai activity characterizes our age, and
the plainest operative gets in abundance
daily mind-food He gets it from his
Sunday-school, his prayer-mee tings, his
lodges, his building associations; all of
which are free colleges.
With a mind full and a heart full,
what cares the labOrer where or how his
mere hands or feet are employed, so his
heart and head are pleasantly and profita-
bly, al work?
Strange is it indeed, that machinery
that was feared as ruinous to the people,
Us now raising the common man TO the
enjoyment of his privileges. Our whole
land is one grand brotherhood of HI lights
OF Labor. Combinations for the honora-
BILE ends of Freedom are all in fashion
But leagues and conspiracies, social theft,
robbery, assassination, and bullying by
secret or open boycotting, or ostracism,
or levies, are all relics of barbarism, and
disgrace to our age and country.

The proposed establishment Of civil
pension list may sound very well to those
who believe in providing for the widows
of suffers and deserters at Government
expense But at the bottom Of this the
mistake is the fact that it is radically
wrong to be making the Government
departments the permanent personal
holdings Of one set Of men by
means Of an automaton examina-
ton that is not a test of merit or
ability Of any kind. There are certain
technical and skilled elements of work
chat require specialists, but the rest of the
civil service should be open to all citizens,
and the people in the offices should feel
the popular character Of our Govern
mcnt.

FEDERAL AND STATE.

We promised our readers yesterday TO
explain the reasons assigned by the Court
of Appeals for its eccentric attempt at
overruling the Supreme Court of the
United States
The latter court decided last February
that when one pursuing an occupation
rendered coupons for the license tax upon
il. which were refused, he might go on
with his business without license. The
Court of Appeals now declares that he
cannot go on with the business without
the license. 1t has this TO say in excuse
of itself. After the decision OF
the Supreme Court the Legislature
passed an act providing that when cou-
pons are offered for license the Treasurer
shall receive them .tor ideaafcatioa and
rerifcatioa. They shall be sent to the
Hastings Court, and if a jury declares
them genuine, then the license shall issue,
but in the meantime the applicant Tor
the license shall not pursue his business
As the Legislature at the same time made
it impossible for him to prove his
coupons genuine by forbidding expert
testimony, and by requiring the
bonds to be produced, this was
equivalent to saying that he should not
verify them, and therefore that he should
not 90 on with his business without a
license. But let that pass. The Court
Of Appeals now holds that the Supreme
Court did not intend to say that the
Legislature might not suspend the effect
of the tender during the time that the
coupons were being verified, and there
FORE say they, the applicant shall not go
on with his business during the time
that this process of yeriication was going
on, which, as we showed above, might be
for eternity.
But if the Court Of Appeals had only
read the case Of Chailin against Taylor
11G L. 5. r., So, it would have seen that
the Supreme Court had had that identi-
cal proposition pressed upon it, and that
it had upheld that it was no plea that
the Legislature could not suspend the
operation and effect of the tender one
moment even to verify and identify the
coupons. The very case had been met
by the Supreme Court and decided adj
versely to what the Court Of Appeals now
lays down for law.
How absurd then that the State should
be placed in this ridiculous light before
the world For the Court Of Appeals of
the State deliberately to put itself in the
position to be treated with the contempt
with which the Federal Courts will at
once treat it; and be pOwerless to do any
thing more than the naughty boy, who
sticks his fingers in his eyes and bawls
aloud that some one has kicked him
where his feelings are most sensitive.

An extraordinary state Of things, famil-

While comments are heard about the
Confederate brigadiers in Congress, the
unanimity with which the Republican
Legislators are sending such peaceable
civilians as Farwell, Sawyer, StOckbridge
and Stewart to the Senate seems to indi-
cate that they are not going to make
themselves liable to the imputation Of
packing that body with Union veterans.
